A 45-year-old Irish tourist on holiday in Mallorca died tragically early Monday morning. Authorities believe he sustained injuries before his death.
The man s body, found near Punta Ballena on Carrer Martín Ros García, showed injuries consistent with a hit-and-run incident. Investigators say the tourist, who holidayed with his family, may have consumed significant amounts of alcohol and drugs on Sunday night.
The man died at the scene
Around 4:30 am, a shop worker witnessed the man stumble and collapse. Despite resuscitation efforts by local police and medical personnel, he died at the scene.
An initial examination revealed leg injuries suggestive of a hit-and-run, bite marks on the shoulders, and a small piece of glass lodged in the back.
The Civil Guard s Judicial Police believe the tourist was involved in a fight before being struck by a car. Despite the altercation and potential substance use, investigators are awaiting an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death. They suspect a combination of the injuries and intoxication may have led to the man s collapse.
Authorities are collecting information
Authorities are collecting witness statements and reviewing security footage from the area to piece together the events leading to the tragedy.
